CHALICE OF ROSES

From the bestselling and award-winning authors of dragon lovers comes an anthology of fantasy, romance, and eternal love. In these four new novellas, history and destiny spark passion, and all depends on the fate of one mystical cup: the Holy Grail.

A man must marry and summon the Grail to bring peace to England. A Regency lady must keep it safe from Napoleon's spies. A modern sorcerress must keep the Grail from falling into Nazi hands, and an American must put the chalice at risk to rescue her one true love. These are four passionate and enchanting stories of desire and destiny inspired by one of our most powerful legends.

FANTASTIC, FUN READ. EACH NOVELLA STANDS UNIQUE EVEN THOUGH THEY EACH HAD TO WEAVE IN SOME OF THE SAME STORY ELEMENTS. LOVELY MIX OF FANTASY AND REALITY AND THE ROMANTIC THREADS ARE ALL VERY SATISFYING. PLEASE NOTE: NOT INSPIRATIONAL FICTION SO THE LOVE SCENES ARE MORE 'FLESHED OUT' :-) BUT TASTEFULLY DONE. A GREAT ESCAPE READ.
